Abstract

We present new material in the surgical repair of the perforated tympanic membrane. Forty-two patients with a unilateral tympanic membrane perforation and eight patients with bilateral perforations had their perforations closed with peri-umbilical superficial fascia via a transtympanic route. Of the 58 tympanic membranes repaired, 51 were successful while seven failed. The technique is cost-effective and quick, making bilateral repairs possible under the same anaesthetic.
